There is a lot in this article to discuss. The victim providing her insurance information was unfortunate, but understandable. When people are being victimized, they often think they are the criminal. Sad, but reality.

What frustrating is the police policy of not responding. And I bet the criminals not only never get charged, they may actually get a check from the victim's insurance.

Where she made her mistake is that she should have said that she was in danger and needed assistance immediately.
That was not an accident, that was an assault.
They were aggressive and she was outnumbered.
If the cops had the guts to charge her for a bogus call, so what.
Better to be judged by a jury than being hauled off on a slab.

This is one instance where the “I’m just a girl“ defense might have been the correct move. Once she realized they intentionally hit her and all started piling out if that car she should’ve peeled out of there and called 911 claiming she was in fear for her safety. Of course this being a deep blue state that might also have resulted in her being the one charged with a crime :(

I saw a follow up video where she said initially she was in shock and wasn’t sure they had intentionally reversed into her and only became certain once they watched the video.

The second they threw the car in reverse and hit her, IMO, a case could be made for attempted vehicular assault.
Blue state or not, any law school dropout could more than likely get her off, even if charged.
It was planned. They were aggressive. It was premeditated. They had another vehicle behind her running blocker.
Anyone who doubts this: try it with a cop and see what you get charged with.
 
So attempted the classic "scoop and squat" but were unable to do so correctly and reversed into her. The car behind her was undoubtably part of the scheme and their job was to pressure her from being to keep her from hard brake application for fear of them hitting her from behind.

More common than you might think and a part of why your rates are so high. Also likely would have been 6 or 7 people in the car by the time the claim was turned in.

Go find and watch the full video of the incident.

The actual driver of the vehicle exited from the passenger side and snuck into the getaway SUV that pulled in front of the Honda. He was the professional criminal. The ones left behind to file the insurance claims are just minor players.

I have front and rear dashcams.
Caught this on my rear cam, almost got me.
Was caused by a 55mph blind curve with side of the road mowing ahead causing a backup.

Love the part where the guy walks towards the victim's car and you can see the "Oh poop" (sorry, there's children here) look on his face when he sees the dash cam.

I do want to know, how do 2 full-grown adults swap front seat spots in a Honda Civic ?

Charged with? Naw cops get out of their car already firing their guns if someone does that to them. If the perp survives then they'd be charged with attempted murder.

I sent that to my family a couple days ago. Co-worker actually knows her.

I've been looking at camera's since then. My family and I drive on the Belt Parkway and everything else around here. I want front and rear though and the better image ones I saw with Sony Starviz 2 puts it at about $230 (x 5-6 vehicles). An Inexpensive one would cover that pretty well and a pretty good front only version is about $130.

And not an insurance fraud one but watch the rear camera on this one Truck Flips 360

A little annoying in the video but if you look at image quality and what he describes. wasting money on dash cam? Of course there's websites that are like BITOG for dashcams and you can have paralysis by analysis there also.

Nice ad
 
Surely with the crystal clear license plates, and images of these pieces of human garbage along with date and time, there is enough for law enforcement to follow through.
